2.1 Laws Pertaining to Spark Arresters

Notice: State Health Safety Codes and Public Resources Codes

specify that in certain locations spark arresters be used on internal

combustion engines that use hydrocarbon fuels. A spark arrester is a

device designed to prevent accidental discharge of sparks or flames

from the engine exhaust. Spark arresters are qualified and rated by

the United States Forest Service for this purpose.

In order to comply with local laws regarding spark arresters, consult

the engine distributor or the local Health and Safety Administrator.

2.2 Operating Safety

DANGER

WARNING

CAUTION

Safety Information VP 1135A/AW

wpm_si000307gb.fm 6

Familiarity and proper training are required for the safe operation of the

machine. Machines operated improperly or by untrained personnel

can be hazardous. Read the operating instructions contained in this

manual and the engine manual, and familiarize yourself with the

location and proper use of all controls. Inexperienced operators should

receive instruction from someone familiar with the machine before

being allowed to operate it.

2.2.1 Do not allow anyone to operate this equipment without proper training.

People operating this equipment must be familiar with the risks and

hazards associated with it.

2.2.2 Do not touch the engine or muffler while the engine is on or

immediately after it has been turned off. These areas get hot and may

cause burns.

2.2.3 Do not use accessories or attachments that are not recommended by

Wacker Neuson. Damage to equipment and injury to the user may

result.

2.2.4 NEVER operate the machine with the beltguard missing. Exposed

drive belt and pulleys create potentially dangerous hazards that can

cause serious injuries.

2.2.5 Never leave the machine running unattended.

2.2.6 Be sure operator is familiar with proper safety precautions and

operation techniques before using machine.

2.2.7 Always wear protective clothing appropriate to the job site when

operating the machine.

2.2.8 Wear hearing protection when operating equipment.

2.2.9 Close fuel valve on engines equipped with one when machine is not

being operated.

2.2.10 Store the machine properly when it is not being used. The machine

should be stored in a clean, dry location out of the reach of children.

2.2.11 Always operate machine with all safety devices and guards in place

and in working order. Do not modify or defeat safety devices. Do not

operate machine if any safety devices or guards are missing or

inoperative.

2.2.12 Read, understand, and follow procedures in the Operator’s Manual

before attempting to operate the machine.

WARNING

VP 1135A/AW Safety Information

wpm_si000307gb.fm 7

2.3 Operator Safety while using Internal Combustion Engines

Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation

and fueling. Read and follow the warning instructions in the engine

owner’s manual and the safety guidelines below. Failure to follow the

warnings and safety standards could result in severe injury or death.

2.3.1 DO NOT run the machine indoors or in an enclosed area such as a

deep trench unless adequate ventilation, through such items as

exhaust fans or hoses, is provided. Exhaust gas from the engine

contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas; exposure to carbon

monoxide can cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.

2.3.2 Do not smoke while operating the machine.

2.3.3 Do not smoke when refueling the engine.

2.3.4 Do not refuel a hot or running engine.

2.3.5 Do not refuel the engine near an open flame.

2.3.6 Do not spill fuel when refueling the engine.

2.3.7 Do not run the engine near open flames.

2.3.8 Refill the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area.

2.3.9 Replace the fuel tank cap after refueling.

2.3.10 ALWAYS check the fuel lines and the fuel tank for leaks and cracks

before starting the engine. Do not run the machine if fuel leaks are

present or the fuel lines are loose.

2.4 Service Safety

A poorly maintained machine can become a safety hazard! In order

for the machine to operate safely and properly over a long period of

time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary.

2.4.1 Do not attempt to clean or service the machine while it is running.

Rotating parts can cause severe injury.

2.4.2 Do not crank a flooded engine with the spark plug removed on

gasoline-powered engines. Fuel trapped in the cylinder will squirt out

the spark plug opening.

2.4.3 Do not test for spark on gasoline-powered engines if the engine is

flooded or the smell of gasoline is present. A stray spark could ignite

the fumes.

2.4.4 Do not use gasoline or other types of fuels or flammable solvents to

clean parts, especially in enclosed areas. Fumes from fuels and

solvents can become explosive.

2.4.5 Keep the area around the muffler free of debris such as leaves, paper,

cartons, etc. A hot muffler could ignite the debris and start a fire.

2.4.6 Replace worn or damaged components with spare parts designed and

recommended by Wacker Neuson Corporation.

2.4.7 Disconnect the spark plug on machines equipped with gasoline

engines, before servicing, to avoid accidental start-up.

2.4.8 Keep the machine clean and labels legible. Replace all missing and

hard-to-read labels. Labels provide important operating instructions

and warn of dangers and hazards.

• the guaranteed sound power level (L

) = 105 dB(A).

• the sound pressure level at operator’s location (L

) = 93 dB(A).

These sound values were determined according to ISO 3744 for the

sound power level (L

) and ISO 6081 for the sound pressure level

) at the operator’s location.

The weighted effective acceleration value, determined according to

EN ISO 5349, is approximately 4.5 m/s

4. Operation

4.1 Recommended Fuel

The engine requires regular grade unleaded gasoline. Use only fresh,

clean gasoline. Gasoline containing water or dirt will damage fuel

system. Consult engine owner’s manual for complete fuel

specifications.

Use of oxygenated fuels

Some conventional gasolines are being blended with alcohol. These

gasolines are collectively referred to as oxygenated fuels. To meet

clean air standards, some areas of the United States and Canada use

oxygenated fuels to help reduce emissions.

If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure it is unleaded and meets the

minimum octane rating requirement.

Before using an oxygenated fuel, confirm the fuel's contents. Some

states / Provinces require this information to be posted on the pump.

The following are Wacker Neuson approved percentages of

oxygenates:

ETHANOL - (ethyl or grain alcohol) 10% by volume. You may use

gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol by volume (commonly referred

to as E10). E20 and E85 fuels should never be used. They are

alternative gasoline fuel blends containing 20% and 85% ethanol

respectively.

METHANOL - (methyl or wood alcohol) 5% by volume. You may use

gasoline containing up to 5% methanol by volume, as long as it

contains cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors to protect the fuel system.

Gasoline containing more than 5% methanol by volume may cause

starting and/or performance problems. It may also damage metal,

rubber, and plastic parts of your fuel system.

If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms, try another service

station, or switch to another brand of gasoline.

Fuel system damage or performance problems resulting from the use

of an oxygenated fuel containing more than the percentages of

oxygenates mentioned above are not covered under warranty.

VP 1135A/AW Operation

wpm_tx001091gb.fm 17

4.2 Application

This plate is designed for compacting loose, granular soils, gravel, and

paving stones. It is intended to be used in confined areas and areas

next to structures such as walls, curbs, and foundations. Plates

equipped with water tanks can be used for compacting asphalt.

This plate is not recommended for compacting cohesive soils with a

heavy clay content. For cohesive soil, use a vibratory rammer or

sheepsfoot roller.

4.3 Before Starting

4.3.1 Read and understand the safety and operating instructions at the

beginning of this manual.

4.3.2 Check:

• Oil level in the engine

• Fuel level

• Condition of the air cleaner

• Tightness of the external fasteners

• Condition of the fuel lines

Operation VP 1135A/AW

wpm_tx001091gb.fm 18

4.4 To Start

See Graphic: wc_gr000014

happens, add oil to engine. Some engines are equipped with an oil

alert light (f) that will come on while pulling the starter rope.

4.4.5 Open choke as engine warms (b2).

4.4.6 Open throttle fully to operate.

4.5 To Stop

See Graphic: wc_gr000014
